Compare Dates in XSL of DataView webpart

The dates within XSL can not be compared directly. Following is the example how it can be done :

<xsl:if test="number(translate(substring-before(ddwrt:FormatDate(@Created,1053 ,5), ' '), '-', '')) = number(translate(substring-before(ddwrt:TodayIso(), 'T'), '-', ''))" >
< xsl:value-of select="@Title"/>
</xsl:if>

In this example @Created field(SharePoint List column) is compared with current date(TodayIso()).
